CAMP srovn.

. Application led .Tuly 24, 1925. Serial No. 45.924.

This invention relates to improvements in camp stoves and has particular reference to a folding camp stove.

The principal object of this invention is to produce a camp stove which may be folded into a minimum amount of space and also one which will have incorporated therein a folding chimney.

Another object of this invention is to produce a device of this character which is extremely simple in construction and, therefore, cheap to manufacture and also one which is well within the purchase price of the average user.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying' drawings forming a part of this specification and in which ike numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my stove,

Figure 2 is stove top,

Figure 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3--3 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is an enlarged detail view showing the top of the chimney,

igure 5 is a crosssection taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 4,

Figure 6 is n enlarged detail view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 4,

Figurev 7 illustrates the manner of folding my chimney,

a bottom plan view of the Figure 8 is a fragmentary vertical cross section of my stove top,

Figure 9 is a top plan view of my stove in folded position,

Figure 10 is a side elevation of my stove, and

Figure 11 is an end elevation thereof.

It is exceedingly difficult to cook on camp stoves, due to the fact that the ordinary l5 camp stove has no chimney and is merely a supporting means over a fire. The smoke and soot ruins the utensils placed thereon and at the same time the smoke is often so bad that it is impossible to stay c-lose to the stove. I have, therefore, provided a chi1nney for elevating the smoke above the head of the user and have also provided a closed receptacle which will confine the soot and dirt, thereby permitting cooking without soiling the utensils.

In the accompanying drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodimentof my invention, the numerals 5 and 6 refer to the sides of a stove having U-shaped channel members 7 and 8 formed along their top edges. This construction is best shown in Figures 1 and 8.

End members are shown at 9 and 11, which end members are hinged to the side members as shown at 12, 13, 14 and 16. A fire door is slidably supported in the end member 11 as by outwardly bent lugs 17. The door is designated by the numeral 18.

A sliding top 19 is confined within the channel members 7 and 8 and when the stove is in erected same against collapse. this top, I have provided bers 21 and a cross brace suitable openings 24 and in the top 19 which may 27 and 28, respectively.

This top is cut away as shown at 39so that a chimney may set thereover which will receive smoke through the interior of the stove. This chimney is best illustrated in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 and comprises four sections namely, 31, 32, 33 and 84, which are hinged together as shown at 36, 37, 38 and 39. The pintles of these hinges are elongated.

The front pintles of the hinges 88 andv 89 are suilicient to extend through openings in the top of the stove and to pass a short distance therethrough, as shown at 41 of Figure 5. The pintles of the hinges 36 and 87 are elongated a sufficient distance to extend through cleats 42 secured to the backing 11 of the stove (see Figures 5 and 6).

It will also be noted that the portion 32 of the chimney is longer than the remaining Y portion of the chimney so as to extend down the backing a ,distance and to pass beneath an outwardly pressed member 43. This Inaterially strengthens and secures the chimney to the stove, thereby preventing the wind from blowing the chimney over, which is common when an ordinary stove pipe is employed. e l

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example Of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be re- In order to brace longitudinal mem- 23. If it is desired, 26 may be formed be closed by lids position serves to maintain the 10 said side plates,

sorted to Without departing from the spirit` 5 Claim In a stove of the charaeterdeserib'ed, a pair of spaced side plates having channels formed on their upper extremities, al pair' of spaced end plates pivotally secured tok a top plate slid'abl'y posi-l vtioned between said side plates and confined in said channels, a collapsible pipe supported 0n said top plate, said pipe comprising a plurality of Vsections hinged oneto the other,

pintles of said hinges extending down to and passing through said top plate, 'for the purpose speeiied.
